Bug #6829: Failure using Win32ole (happens in 1.8.7 and 1.9
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6829

Author: mvanduyn (Mitch VanDuyn)
Status: Open
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: 1.9.1 and 1.8.7


The following code:

   require 'rubygems'
    require 'win32ole'
    pdk = WIN32OLE.new("StampsDotCom.PDK5")
    internet_postage = pdk.InternetPostage3
    print_job = pdk.CreatePrintJob5
    print_job.MailClass = 0 # first class
    print_job.MailpieceFormFactor = 1 # envelope
    print_job.MediaID = 2 ##10 envelope
    print_job.PrinterName = "\\\\stamps1\\Dev1"
    print_job.MailpieceWeight = 1
    print_job.AddRecipient("Stamps.com\r\n3420 Ocean Park Blvd Ste 1040\r\nSanta Monica, CA 90405")
    internet_postage.PrintPostage("Stamps.com\r\n3420 Ocean Park Blvd Ste 1040\r\nSanta Monica, CA 90405")  # this call works
    internet_postage.PrintPostageEx(1, print_job)  # this call fails

when run IRB causes the below error.  

To fully reproduce this problem you will have to load stamps.com  exe which is available from stamps.com (although you will have to get a trial account to get the exe, I can store the exe if needed, but its too large to upload here.

This code is from the stamps.com documentation, and is very similar to other code I have run in .NET, so I am sure it is correct.

A couple of notes:

1) The last 2 lines above have very similar functions.  The second to last line executes perfectly, but the last line causes the failure.  So this demonstrates that the basic com communication is working fine.

2) The last line is a bit different because it is being passed back an number (fine) PLUS a pointer to an object that is coming from the com object.  Could this be the problem?


There is the dump!
